RB Leipzig vs. Hoffenheim: Match Preview

Team from Leipzig keeps alternating wins and defeats in their last five match form. After the away losses brought to "The Bulls" by Ingolstadt and leading Bayern Munich, there has been followed two victories over struggling Hertha Berlin and standing right behind them Eintracht Frankfurt, keeping a clean sheet in each of those outings. Thus Leipzig club owns 39 points, with twice more goals scored than conceded so far - 34 for and 15 against. That allows them to secure the runner-up site, just on 3 units going after Bayern Munich, whose recent form has been incredibly boosted.

Meanwhile, even though "Die Kraichgauer" team is so close to "The Red Bulls" in terms of positioning, still there's a huge distance in between them, though, as the Hoffenheim club suffered three consecutive draws before it has been followed by a win over FC Augsburg at the last weekends. Moreover, those three ties came after the 4-0 win to FC Koln, which previously had ended another run of three draws against Hamburger SV, B. Monchengladbach, and Bayern Munich. Therefore, they literally wasted away six possible wins out of all the last eight occasions that could have brought the team extra points, consequently putting them much nearer to their current opposing side.

Getting to the predictions of this match-up, we would like to emphasize on what powerful shapes both of the sides have picked up this season, which precisely points at their actual positions in the Bundesliga standings. Both RB Leipzig and Hoffenheim are in contention for a Champions league journey next year so it could be any of them if they proceed with winning as many points as it is possible. We feel like backing the "Both Teams to Score" prediction market to be make sure that this match is going to be spectacular as expected, but in the score prediction we remain to stick around a home win to the hosts.
